body and interior Is This Wrinkle Normal?

[gliding_serpent2]

This is not due to paint, and is not new post track time and strut brace (although it did run mosport stock in 1974 and did some light autocross in the same era stock).

I remember some here saying common stress points in an unbraced car are by the radiator, and just in front of the front windows. Any other areas to check?

Thanks

My 2002 is a 1972. I have those 2 angled raised lines on both sides. Shot a pic.

Its a birthmark for most 2002s.  Both my 74 tii 2780001 and my 73 automatic have the same raised print on the passenger side.  I have seen it on a fully restored 73 and on another clean 76 in town.

Ditto for my 76, cant recall on my others, bet it was when they attached the nose piece to the inner fenders, the Machine was out of adjust and stressed metal when pushed on, and this was before cad, must of been human error, in Baywerche?

I can't really tell on my '75.... it's been painted over a few times I think.

My 75 had the same.  Someone at the Vintage told me that it was a "krick" in one of the sheet metal presses, very common.
